On Dec. 23 it snowed in El Paso,
and a snowman formed up on our car and made this heart for Mimi! |
|
| Our little red car has not seen
much snow! |
 |
|

|
|
| While it was snowing, it was a
good time to play games inside. |
|

 |
December 23 and we finally got a
Christmas tree put up! The nice desk for the computer is
below the tree, and the principal Melissa updater is in the bed! |

OUT AT
LAST!!!!

|
Melissa and Mimi went to the mall and got
haircuts on Tuesday, four days after freedom day (1/20).
Melissa still can't drive, but that does not stop her from
walking
the mall! |
|
|
| On
Wednesday (1/25/2012) Aunt Shannon came to help out, but the flight was very late because of a big storm.
